I'm going through True Results here in Houston. I had my first appt. yesterday. please tell me about your experience. I'm nervous because my life is about to change drastically. Please give me Some insight.

I am as well having the hernia repair while being banded. I'm glad I had the hernia otherwise insurance wasn't going to cover it

Me too!! They are going to repairs my hernia and put LAPBAND on while in there... Insurance will cover it that way for me as well!! Good luck to you

Congratulations to all of you. I have been a True Results patient since December 2010. I LOVE the staff. Dr. Ken Hollis did my surgery. I like CM77539 had the hernia repair and then the lapband was clamped on. Yeah baby!!!!!!! I love the new changes to the office. Seems like every month I go something is different for the better for our services. I will be seeing them next week for my monthly check up and fill. Definitely ask questions because this is your body and your journey. They will answer you and are very nice and cordial. They want you and the band to work. They are your friends not your enemies. Use them. LOL Good luck all.

They will do an endoscopy on you normally your insurance will pay for this procedure mine did

How did you know you had a hernia?

It was diagnosed by another one of my doctors on ultra sound. I was having upper abdominal problems. It felt as though I couldn't breath anymore. I could hardly eat as well. I was miserable until after my surgery.

I'm so glad to hear abt so many successes. I go for my psych eval on sat. I hope I'm not crying up a storm. Lol.... I'm so excited and theoretical I talk and hear feedback the better and more comfortable I feel. I admit that I get overwhelmed sometimes thinking abt never eating rice or potatoes again but it's worth it for me and my family. I don't have any kids yet and I have pcos which makes conceiving difficult so it is imperative that I lose a considerable Amy of weight. This is abt to b the best summer of my life !

Oh I was wondering about that. I guess I would know if I had a hernia, it would hurt!! Lol. I just saw that a lot of patients have that surgery too so I was curious.

Anybody know anything about plication? That's something else that's mentioned on these boards. Curious about that too.

LOL yes ma'am you will most definitely know that something is not right. hahahaha! I too was wondering about plication because I had never heard of it. I googled it and found out. Do the same and you will see.
